I really appreciate you lookin these guys up for me - I'm sorry that I didn't give
you more info in the first place.
Do you think that any court records or anything would show who got custody of kids after
their parents died, or did that type of thing not exist in the mid-1800s?
Thanks again for your time - I really appreciate it!
:)
